Noah's Lament
dogged defiance agitates the scourge purging betrayals of days sold and ignored
sequestering stares of passers by and kin oblivious to the stakes of assaulting to win
behind the numbing walls where innocence shrieks the consuming purge from Divinity's reach
sacked and traded to propriety's bent their pilot's sight has long since spent
festering in agita ripened for din waves consuming the chorus of sin
washing away a somber ending ills rented and kept for carnivorous trending
turned asunder all transparent are we not the same? a dove apparent
rivals silenced in coursing accord pooling the rue that we ignored
tumbled and torn to render anew vertigo skies order in blue
standing hollowed empty purview I surrender fully to hopes undue
vanquish my claim this sanctimonious shill unburden my name untether my will
